Gene Honda Civic

I really believe this was just cold feet by the yankees

THis is the one I've posted at before --http://www.bravesbeat.com/boards/

I like the move -- You have to remember Smoltz is probably going to be headed to the rotation... Also it f***s the Cubs

It'll be just like last season -- Rowand vs. LHP and Willie vs. RHP

Actually I was gonna say

Don't even bother to speculate -- You're wasting your time on this one. They are trying to dump Hinske(cuz he sucks) and Batista(cuz he was terrible after the ASB) -- Any GM who picks them up better not give up anything in return... Rios, Halladay(Holliday ), and Wells are not going anywhere. It just doesn't make sense.

No, No, vs. RHP Only if Caballo is traded, Only in Charlotte, Only in case of nuclear winter, Only in Charlotte Yes, Backup (platoon w/ Willie), Dransfeldt is a FA.

Well I can think of one The point was, why complain about one university, who clearly wasn't going to have an interview process because they had their candidate already, and not complain about another, who can't seem to entice anyone to even think about taking their job in a long drawn out process.

How many black candidates has Notre Dame interviewed? -------------------------- There's a relly good game goin' on right now. Div II championship game -- There is some hitting going on, and it's been a well played game. As I type Valdosta St. scores, the RB gets lit up when he crosses the goal line -- He wont see straight for a week after that one.

Because I think FS is wrong, Lienert White Peterson Bush Smith

Omar Vizquel failed a physical last season too -- he then put up a .291/.353/.388 season.

If you're feeling confident about this, you can log on to tradesports.com -- There's sure to be some movement north on this due to the report -- So you can make some money even when he doesn't win.

A semi-outsider's account of the winter meetings

I can't beleive we're debating something that came from Knuckle, and appeared to me as a pretty clear joke. This is Knuckle, it's not like he has much credibility anyway.

Hmmmm... That would be a big surprise... I'm going to say, they get egg on their face with this one.

Plus he's a cracker, so that helps.

.281/.376/.425 -- Well he got on base vs. the Sox, but I would hardly call him a Sox killer -- Those titles should be reserved for Thome(.295/.406/.650) and Sweeney(.315/.386 /.574)

This thread rocks.

It's amazing how few people notice this. That cannon of an arm makes him more valuable at SS, farter away from first. His range at 2nd and short is very simillar.

It was interesting to read through this thread, and watch the progression go from.. yeah, let's get Halladay, to Hinske + Batista is alright, to Hinkse and Batista = :puke --- For the record, We should not even be talking to toronto.. Gord Ash is no longer there and they have a real GM now. Plus, they don't have anything we could really use, that they would be willing to give up anyway.

He may not be "keen" on NY, but if that's the team that comes in with the best offer. That's where he'll end up... It's a simple proposition. If he was interesting in just being paid well he would have some other representative. Who was the last Boras client who didn't go to the highest bidder?

He's a Boras client. End of story. If he wasn't in it for the money he would have different representation. He will delude himself into think that a team will turn itself around simply by his presense there... ARod to Texas ring a bell.

No more Rocket, No more Kent, means Houston has the funds for Beltran... And Boras clients go to where the money is, not where they have the best chance to win. That's why they signed with him. He can get them the most money.

Yep, in the previos 6 pages of dialouge here, nobody mentioned that.

I think the shrinking demands just make it more likely that he'll return to Houston.
